Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I said some things that I realized wasn't true
And I'm sorry for it (I'm sorry baby)
I'm emotional (you're emotional)
This is your fault (this ain't my fault)
Just listen when I say (girl, you trippin', man, you need to calm down)
I care about you (you don't care about me)
And I'd die for you (yeah, I'd die for you)
Just hear me when I say (this is my fault as much as it's yours, c'mon)
I was in the moment
I ain't really mean what I said to you
So put away your pride, baby
We can work it out if you want this to
Okay
You don't have to talk at me
You can talk to me
I can hear very well
You can get your thoughts and your point across to me
And there's no need to yell
I know it's something that's under your skin
It feels like I can't win, baby
I'm sorry for it (I'm sorry for you)
I'm emotional (you're emotional)
This is your fault (this ain't my fault)
Just listen when I say (I don't wanna take the blame for nothing baby, 'cause I)
I care about you ('cause you care about me)
And I'd die for you (and I'll die for you)
I take the blame (you can take the blame)
Just hear me when I say
I was in the moment
I ain't really mean what I said to you
So put away your pride, baby
We can work it out of you want this to
If I could stay, I'll be alright, baby
If I should leave, I'll be alright, baby
But if I could stay, I'd stay with you
Yo, darlin' whatchu sayin'?
You be playin' 'round sayin' you ain't mean it, that's a fib
'Cause if you didn't mean it
You would never pull it out your bag of shit to hit me with
You be OD in your feelings, throw 'em at me
I don't catch all 'em
I just let 'em fall like the third quarter
Just admit to me that you're sorry
I was in the moment
I ain't really mean what I said to you (you think I'm fucking stupid)
So put away your pride, baby
We can work it out of you want me to
If I could stay, I'll be alright, baby (you stay, you stay, you stay)
If I should leave (don't leave)
I'll be alright, baby (you stay, you stay, you stay, you shouldn't leave)
But if I could stay, I'd stay with you (you stay, you stay, you stay)
You, you, you (stay with me, good choice)
(I'm sorry)
Said, I'm sorry, baby
(I'm sorry)
Said, I'm sorry, baby
(I'm sorry)
(I'm sorry)
